I am your typical housewife living in high maintenance suburbia. I have a handsome husband, 2 kids and a flock of pet chickens. I try and feed my family with $100 a month. With the help of coupons, gardening and bartering I am able to squeeze the most out of our grocery budget and still manage to have a little fun along the way.

Easy Chicken Recipes – Ritz Cracker Chicken

If you have a couple of chicken breasts, 2 sleeves of Ritz Crackers and a stick of butter in the refrigerator, well then you have dinner baby!

This recipe for Ritz cracker chicken is like the easiest meal ever to prepare. Plus, HELLO it’s totally tasty too. The Handsome Husband, The Girl and Monkey Boy all loved it, and I’ll defiantly be putting this on my monthly dinner menu from now on.

OMG! We cooked this for dinner tonight with sliced heirloom tomatoes and green beans. All the adult children and grandkids came over for the day. They LOVED this! Better yet, I’m vegetarian so I coated some tofu with the Ritz cracker crumbs and baked it along side the chicken. I love it when we can eat essentially the same thing for dinner!

Mine is almost the same…I use a generic cracker (crushed) mixed with parmesan & parsley, but I coat mine in mayo or olive oil (whichever I have more of). I pretty much use it on any chicken, whether it be, legs, thighs or breasts.

I made this tonight and it was a hit! Made it with what I had on hand (low-fat Ritz and “heart healthy” margarine spread instead of butter) and added a couple of shakes of garlic salt before I popped it into the oven and it came out juicy and crunchy. YUM. Thank you so much for posting this!

I sometimes make chicken tenders using stove top stuffing mix that I pulverize into crumbs in my food processor– you can use the same method as this and just use the stuffing crumbs instead of cracker crumbs. They taste SO good with all the seasoning in it.

I have been making this for years I got the recipe from my mom and aunt. We do not use butter though we dip our chicken in heated eggs,salt,pepper and milk and then coat with crushed Ritz. My kids love this and Ritz cracker casserole!!

I have been making ritz chicken for 30 some years!! The only difference from your recipe to mine was I always drizzled melted butter over the chicken after putting in the casserole dish!! We have since stopped doing that, but still love this chicken!! The ritz crackers add so much flaor!!!
